only just remembered this one
Back in the beautiful days of High School, Mr. Montrose was giving me a bollocking I had my indoor PE kit for an outdoor lesson.

Now, prior to this incident by some six weeks, I had left my kit on the train, and therefore only had the indoor one left. However, being that I only had eight weeks left in school when this happened, me mum refused to buy me a new one, the reasong being that, after summer holidays, it would be rendered useless.

Back to the incident... the argument went lke this:

Mr. Montrose: "James, why have you AGAIN, not got your correct kit in?"
Me: "I've already told you sir, I don't have the other one anymore because I've lost it."
Mr. Montrose: "No, you never told me that. Maybe Mr. Marshall, but not me!"
Me: "It was you."
Mr. Montrose: "No, you haven't told me because I have a good memory Paul!"

I've never tried to not laugh so hard in all of my life, and I didn't know which was funnier, the mis-justification of having a good memory, or the fact that he did correctly know my name at the start and then forgot it later on!
